Chapter 1 ā Naoya Ookusu \nVolume 1\n<hr class="wp-block-separator is-style-wide">\nā A favor is it?ā\n
I couldnāt help but have a bad feeling about this, so I asked him.\n
āI donāt see any connection between what you just said and us, so what is it?ā\n
We are the class committee, but there are some chores we can do and some we canāt. Everyone has their abilities and aptitudes.\n
However, the teacher said.\n
āWell, you know. Iād like you to find out why sheās been so absent-minded, and then persuade her to change her attitude.ā\n
āNot possible !ā\n
I answered immediately.\n
To be honest, I thought thatās what I was going to have to do. My bad premonition had come true.\n
ā.. No ?ā\n
Ā āWeāve barely interacted with Enami-san, so how can we have such a deep conversation? Besides, thatās the teacherās job, isnāt it?ā\n
āWell, I understand how you feel. I doā\n
If you can understand, then I want you to stop asking me for help immediately. It is not that the class committee members are prepared to impose the work that they have been spoonfed.\n
āIām sure there are more suitable people to ask. Like Nishikawa.ā\n
Rather, it was an impossible task for anyone but Nishikawa. But the teacher shook his head.\n
āIāve already asked Nishikawa if she could find out why she was so unserious and encourage her to improve. And she declined.ā\n
āā¦..She refused ?ā\n
It was unexpected. Nishikawa was a gyaru, but her attitude toward class was extremely serious. I remember that her grades were also quite high. I thought she might be looking at Enami-sanās current situation and wanting her to improve.\n
āTo be honest, I donāt know why. But it was an immediate answer, just like yours earlier. She didnāt even tell me why she refused. I donāt know what high school students are thinking these days.ā\n
āHuh.ā\n
āListen to me carefully. Youāre all Iāve got.ā\n
I didnāt want to hear him say that, but I decided to listen to what he had to say.\n
āFirst of all, do you know how many times Enami has come to school on time since she started her sophomore year?\n
Naturally, I didnāt know. Fujisaki, who had been quiet until then, answered.\n
āI am not sureā¦ā¦. but Iād say sheā s been to school on time at least half of the time ā\n
āNo, Fujisaki. You may not have noticed when she sometimes sneaks into the classroom, but itās less than that.ā\n
When I asked him how many times it was, he replied with a surprising answer.\n
āSix.ā\n
āā¦ā¦ā\n
Six times?ćIt was October, and counting from April, there must have been more than 80 days of school. And yet, only six times?\n
āShocking, isnāt it? Morning HR without Enami is an everyday scene. None of the students care about it anymore. But after six trips to school at the beginning of the semester, sheās been late ever since.ā\n
āI hadnāt noticed. ā¦ā¦ā\n
I donāt know how theyāve tolerated it so far. Iām sure sheās going to be held back in the school year.\n
āI can understand where youāre coming from. Youāre wondering why we left it until it got this bad. But we didnāt just leave her alone until she got this bad. I visited her at home and told her parents to cooperate. And I even called her into the staff room and persistently asked her why she was late.ā\n
āIs that so?ā\n
I didnāt know. Looks like Fujisaki didnāt know either. She had a similar reaction to me.\n
āI canāt give you too many details, but there are a lot of things going on in her family life. I couldnāt say that strongly either. But it was beyond what I could tolerate. Besides, it wouldnāt be good for her if I just let her deteriorate like this. Thatās why today I scolded her as hard as I could, but ā¦ā¦ it didnāt seem to affect her at all.ā\n
I know that.\n
āYou will find a lot of things that you canāt say because of your position as a teacher and a student. Iām sure there are things that students in the same class can communicate with each other. Thatās why I want to ask you guys to take care of Enami.ā\n
āI humbly refuse.ā\n
āEven after hearing all this?ā\n
Thatās obvious. IĀ was listening to the conversation to refuse.\n
Itās obvious that even if I take the job, it will fail. Itās Enami-san. Her face may be cute. But this is the same Enami-san who has repelled all attempts to talk to her (except one). Thereās no benefit to me, and why should I take on something I know will fail?\n
āIf youāre a serious person, you wouldnāt tolerate a student like that. Donāt you want to fix it?ā\n
āā¦ā¦ I donāt particularly feel that way.ā\n
I donāt like it, thatās for sure. I donāt like people who do that kind of thing.\n
Thatās why I donāt want to get involved.\n
āā¦ā¦ Fujisaki, what about you?ā\n
āā¦ā¦Well.ā\n
Fujisaki, who is much more serious than I am, seemed to have pondered a bit after listening to the teacher.\n
And then she said.\n
āIām going to try to talk to Enami-san once.ā\n
āā¦ā¦ Are you serious?ā\n
I never have spoken to Enami-san, but with Fujisakiās personality, Iām sure sheās already tried talking to her. And probably she would have been treated coldly. But still, she wanted to challenge her?\n
The teacher seemed to be so happy that he jumped for joy.\n
āReally! Thank you! Iām glad I asked you, Fujisaki!ā\n
If thatās what Fujisaki wanted, I had no choice. I also told him.\n
āThen Iāll speak with her one time, too.ā\n
āThank you for your help!ā\n
When I looked at Fujisaki, she was apologizing with a small hand in front of her.\n\n
